Yeah, Right
Of course, EVERY Pit Bull isn't going to attack you. But the argument that they aren't born bad so we shouldn't be concened about them smacks of "guns don't kill people, people kill people." The fact is that many, many Pit Bulls are vicious, and I don't give a damn why that is when I'm walking through my Manhattan neighborhood with my 4 year-old son, and I have to pick him up and cross the street because another bozo has his pet bundle of muscle and teeth attached to a boat chain. This happens at least three times a week. I also question the position that we're fearing a non-existent biting epidemic. The problem is that an enraged Pit Bull can kill just about anyone it cares to, and there are far too many Pit Bull owners who get a buzz off of the possbility of it. If you want a pet, get one that couldn't be used to guard a concentration camp. There are tons to choose from.
